“Palmeiras Guiana”: Flamengo fans mock Vasco before Palmeiras tie | OneFootball

Flamengo and Palmeiras face off in the 17th round of the Brasileirão at the Maracanã

Although the spotlight is on the interstate derby between Flamengo and Palmeiras, Vasco ended up getting dragged into the rivalry of the round. On social media, the Cruzmaltino side became the target of mockery after showing support for Mengão’s opponent in this Saturday’s (23) clash at the Maracanã.

This happened because the green-clad team’s Instagram account posted an image of Palmeiras and Vasco shirts together in Copacabana. The idea was to show that the São Paulo delegation was already in Rio, but not alone.

What did Flamengo fans do?

Then the São Januário club’s account embraced the partnership and reposted the image. Flamengo fans then burst out laughing. “Palmeirense Guyana,” say hundreds of Flamengo comments that reduce the rival to nothing more than a mere sidekick to Palmeiras.

Why “Palmeirense Guyana”?

The term comes from a joke involving Brazil and Portugal. There is an idea that the Portuguese country is home to more Brazilians than Portuguese people. That is how the nickname “Brazilian Guyana” for the European nation came about.

By that logic, Vasco is a “Palmeirense Guyana.” After all, the Rio club received a loan from Crefisa, a company controlled by the president of Palmeiras. In addition, the Cruzmaltino club often suffers defeats to the São Paulo side and then gives thanks.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

After Palmeiras, it will be Cusco (PER)’s turn to visit the Maracanã to face Flamengo on Tuesday (26). Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, in the final round of Group A of the Libertadores, where Mengo is the leader.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match through the website, YouTube, and other social media platforms. The match broadcast, however, will be on Disney+ (streaming) and ESPN (pay TV).
